Tug Spotting: Nelson's Victory 49VT06












This just in from Heidi Maitland, Victorious 37VT26:

We just returned from two weeks in Sebastian FL and saw Nelson's Victory in Micco, FL.  We didn't see it close up but I was able to get to the next dock/marina and zoom in for a photo.  The boat is visible from the bridge over the St. Sebastian River, Route 1.  It's pretty amazing seeing this boat as you cross the bridge, so large that it appears big even at a distance.  [An acquaintance of ours] had access to the boat at some point, I think he said from [previous owners] Joe or Penny Baggs, and was very impressed with "all the teak".

Bodacious 37VT44 Update


Jim Lanzarotta Bodacious 37VT44, checks in and says:

No big trips planned at this point. Probably another summer of work on it and staying pretty local. We use it a lot in the summer for short cruises where we pretty much just have lunch and hang out. Still a lot to do before we do anything longer than a day.
